This flower is very easy to make. I use it to decorate almost everything: hats, purses, blankets, scarves . . . anything you could possibly think of!

Supplies: 9.00 mm crochet hook worsted weight yarn in your desired color choice stitch marker scissorsAbbreviations Used: Rnd --- round ch --- chain sc --- single-crochet trc --- triple-crochet slp st --- slip stitchNotes: --- The same flower can be made in two smaller versions, just by changing what hook size you use. I like to use 5.00 mm for a medium flower; and the 3.75 mm for a small flower. --- The three different sizes stack up very nicely to create a lovely layered Flower.

~Pattern~ Rnd 1: ch 2; 5sc in second ch from hook - 5sts

Rnd 2: 2sc in each st around - 10sts

Rnd 3: 3trc in first st, slp st in next st; repeat to end - 5 "petals" created

Fasten off.
